It has not ever corrupted any file. The main thing that a soft mount does is to not make an entry in "/etc/filesystems" on AIX. If you ever reboot your AIX machine, and the Linux NFS service is not available, you will find that your boot process has just went to shit on you while it attempts to read "/etc/filesystem" and mount a non-existent export.
You could give the soft mount a try, just to see what happens. One 2 min experiment should not doosh the system.... -- J. Craig Woods UNIX/NT SA -Art is the illusion of spontaneity-
